The performance of both teams was outstanding. In the first half we only saw the dominance of the Portuguese players. And Ghana's players only repelled the attacks. They did not attack well. But Ghana changed their match strategy in the second half. And attacked a lot. But they were unlucky. They conceded the second goal in the 78th minute. And they conceded another goal in just 2 minutes. However, Portugal are now at the top of the table thanks to the win in this match. They are 2 points ahead of Korea and Uruguay.
Rebounds victory for Portugal who were too eager to win the game after absorbing enough pressure from Ghana in the second half of the game. Cristiano Ronaldo name on the scoresheet again and he becomes the first and oldest player to score a goal for Portugal, quite an incredible record he has for his country. Talking about the game, Ghana didn't put in much actions in the first half but they did more than enough in the second half just to levelled the game, Ayew did his best, immediately after coming off the pitch, the black starts conceded a goal neiled by Felix, changing the scoreline to 2-1 and got double again by Leao who just came off the bench. It's really an impressive start for the starlets in Portugal, their first game in Qater and also their first win in the present world cup.
Ronaldo is a team player, he is one player I know and respect so much for his immense passion for the game and which ever team he plays for. Ronaldo performs better with a balanced team where he gets to maintain his role as a number nine. He has the ability to run behind defenders and put himself in good positions to score goals which the team needs. They managed to get a win against Ghana and I hope they have learnt their lessons and will correct their lapses in the next game. As for speculations linking Ronaldo to Chelsea FC, I think Ronaldo will also be a good addition for Chelsea if he joins and will give them more attacking power.

I'm curious about how determined Arsenal will be for the Europa League title. So far they have done a great job about balancing the English Premier League and Europa League. They have performed strongly in both of the tournaments. There will be a long break for the rest of the games to start now.

Unless they have to deal with serious injuries after the World Cup ends, I don't expect Arsenal to lose their concentration and start struggling in any of these tournaments. Besides they might add new players to their squad in January as well which would help them a lot in the rest of the season.

Arsenal shouldn't kill two bird's with a single stone and I disagree if they can with the same  set of players the transfer window would be open soon, I do hope they can sign player's to back the once they have currently because injuries can also happen and it will cause harm in the long run. If they can they should just focus on the Premier League. Europa league will be very strong when the next season begins
I think if Arsenal can make a few more suitable signings in the January window they will have more options in different positions in the team and will be able to compete in both competitions without the fear of burning out their key players with the large number and tight schedule of games but I will also advice to focus more on the league where they already have a bigger opportunity to win it than in the Europa league.
1383  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Africa Football Discussion Thread || Current discussion: African teams at Qatar. on: November 26, 2022, 03:30:47 AM
This world cup so far has been boring for the African continent. We don't have a goal or win yet to celebrate and it's frustrating watching all the lost and draws we're having. Hoping when our representing teams play the second leg of the group stages, we'll get some goals to celebrate.
Now you have two goals to celebrate it would gave been bad to finish the fiery round without a single goal from African team buy Ghana never disappoint.

Frankly I enjoyed the second goal which was scored by Bukari and the Siu celebration he did later, even Ronaldo was amazed. Ghana actually surprised me in that game. Out of all the Africa nations that went to Qatar they were my least favorite to do something. It's just occuring to me that Ghana was bond to score as their recent World cup appreance has all came with a goal. I underestimated them and so did the Portuguese side because of how poorly they played at the first half.

Now that an African nation has gotten a goal, I think it's high time we get a win at the world cup. Senegal plays Qatar today and that must be a must win game for Senegal and Qatar as well because anybody who lose should probably start packing their bags to go home as their chances of progressing has been lost. My bet is on Senegal to win that game convincingly. I hope Qatar hasn't bribe the Senegal side as the rumor of them doing that in previous game was reported.
The game was so interesting that at a time I was on my heels and reacting to the moments Ghana attempted to score. I'm a huge fan of Ronaldo so I supported Ronaldo and Portugal to win the match but I must commend Ghana for their effort cause they played so well against a top side like Portugal, I didn't expect them to perform the way they did after all other African nations couldn't even get a goal in their first games.
1384  Economy / Economics / Re: Changing of bank notes; any impact on economy? on: November 26, 2022, 03:24:05 AM
Nigeria reportedly spent N218 billion to redesign the naira notes. I think they should have used that money for something more productive, or a least pay the debts they owe China. President Muhammad Buhari has spoken publicly about the reason why his administration decided it was time to spend so much money to redesign the naira despite the recession, fall of the naira, floods and increased poverty sweeping the nation. This is what President Muhammad Buhari had to say “ A cycle of banknote redesign is generally aimed at achieving specific objectives, including but not limited to: improving security of banknotes. It is also aimed at mitigating counterfeiting, preserving the collective national heritage, controlling currency in circulation, and reducing the overall cost of currency management.“
I hope this answers your questions. The intention was not to strengthen the economy but to eliminate the possibility of counterfeiting.

After some years of struggling with poor form and inconsistency, finally Arsenal have managed to put together a serious and ambitious team in the league all thanks to Mikel Arteta who with his influence and renowned strategies and tactical skills have put the team back in lime light this season. It is amazing to see how well Arsenal are performing this season and I hope this form continues after the world cup break.

People have been saying lots of awful things about Lionel Messi and Argentina, they think Argentina won't get past the group stage because they lost to a team that is not a football nation, but for me that shouldn't be an issue because Argentina has what it takes to turn this around, they still have Poland and Mexico to play, for me they are better than these two, I believe this team can pass the group stages, losing a very important player like lo celso  is a big lose to the south American champions but I hope they can replace what he brings to the team.
Argentina had a disappointing start to the world cup, losing the first game of the competition to a non footballing nation as you call them but that is surely not the end for Argentina, they still have a go in this group stage. Against Mexico and Poland they have a chance to go again and play better to gain all 6 points if possible and I have quite a good level of believe in Argentina to qualify to the next round.
1387  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Africa Football Discussion Thread || Current discussion: African teams at Qatar. on: November 25, 2022, 11:14:39 AM
Usually there will be surprises from African teams but so far there haven't been, 3 teams that have played only resulted in 1 defeat, namely Senegal and 2 teams won draws, namely Tunisia and Morocco, very different from the Asian team which has surprised football lovers by defeating two the favorite teams to win are Argentina and Germany, Argentina's loss to Saudi Arabia is still a hot topic of conversation today.

Currently Cameroon is playing against Switzerland, Cameroon is not favored in this match and I didn't even choose it on my money line bet, my prediction is that there will be no surprises that will happen maybe in the second and third rounds because that will determine who will qualify from the phase this group.
The first half ended with scores 0-0 will this be the fourth game that finish with a goalless ? hope not

The African team had good team spirit as compared to other developing countries. Argentina was the dream team of people all around the world. It’s defeat against the Saudi was backfire one for the people of Argentina and rest of the world. Argentina have to improve their game in the recent days, it was unexpected game from the top class team like Argentina. The upcoming game of the Argentina will be the acid test to them. They need win the test and prove their worth to the rest of the team. The upcoming match of Cameroon and Switzerland, most of the people supports to the Switzerland. And most of the bets will be made on Switzerland as compared to the Cameroon.
Ofcourse the team spirit is there and devotion but I hate the fact that we have been showing too much respects to our opponents and we cannot get results by doing so. I think its time we take the bull by the horn and give our all for the results. I expect African teams to play as Saudi Arabia against big teams and not to show them respect. Hopefully the send round of the group stage will be different and we will return stronger and better.

I will blame SIr Alex Ferguson for all his ordeal. He was already set to move to Manchester City with all arrangement ready before he got the call from Sir and had to respect it. The annoying part is Sir Alex was no where to be found when his hard times in United began uptil when his contract got terminated. I am glad he is happily playing in the WC and has recorded his 36th goal. I hope Napoli finalises their deal with him because he will be far better in the seria A
I don’t know how much influence Alex Ferguson still has on the board’s decision-making of the club, he was the one who convinced Ronaldo to come back to United. I expected him to take responsibility and come to Ronaldo’s defense. I'm so much disappointed in Manchester United for the way things panned out with Ronaldo, after showing love and loyalty for the club he was paid back with disrespect and unfair treatments and judgement. I am so happy he has finally gotten the opportunity to leave the club on mutual agreement. I'm not sure about Napoli but if it is true it sounds good to me.

The latest news comes from Lazio player Sergej Milinkovic-Savic who currently prefers to move to Juventus over Manchester United.
It was reported that Sergej Milinkovic-Savic had agreed to move to Juventus and had several meetings with Juventus. Sergej Milinkovic-Savic has reached an agreement with Juventus with a 5-year contract and will be given a salary of 5 million Euros/year.
Apart from that, Manchester United also intends to reach an agreement with Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and still has the possibility to corner Juventus if Manchester United dares to pay more than the salary given by Juventus.

But the decision rests with Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and he remains determined to sign for Juventus.
Milinkovic Savic is one name that has been mentioned severally this month and has been linked with a move away from Juventus. Milinkovic Savic is a good player and will fit in to Juventus more than even united. I also read something on the net that says Arsenal are willing to offer 60m plus Sambi Lokonga to Napoli. If this is true I must say that it is a good news and I find it intriguing. Napoli are yet to agree on a deal with any clubs .

Ok so, Manchester is going through a rough phase. They already released Cristiano Ronaldo and the club is now for sale. Cristiano is apparently dealing with Real Madrid and they might just grab him. As for Manchester, there is still no one interested in buying the club. Will be this the end of Manchester United?
Ronaldo and Man United have reached an agreement to part ways after a controversial interview Ronaldo conducted a few days ago with Piers Morgan. After Ronaldo was unemployed because he was not bound by a contract with any club, the issue of Ronaldo's transfer has now graced the British, European and even world media. Now Ronaldo is focusing on the Portugal national team which is struggling in the world cup, Ronaldo will announce his new club in January because at that time the clubs will carry out their winter transfer activities.
Absolutely the end turned out to be the best option for all parties because the tension has been increasingly alarming and has gotten to the point where seperation is the best option so I'm happy it is happening. We shall see what next for Ronlado after the split will he retire or will he move to a new club for now there are no dramas and no court sanctions so it is all good in the end.

I think this world cup break is going some teams in the premier League, teams like Chelsea, Tottenham and Liverpool. And it might be a disadvantage for team like arsenal who where doing better before the league was put on hold, because the team might lose momentum to continue, then Chelsea case, Graham Potter will have enough time to analyse what he needs to do to start seeing good results before the new board will sack him, Tottenham Hotspur will have a lot of players back from injuries, because Conte side have been unlucky with injuries.
The premier league will begin next year after just one month of the world cup. During the world cup break, all clubs should look for better players who will fit in with their varied teams. The more successful Arsenal team would continue to add players during the January transfer period. I believe that this World Cup break is for all clubs, not only Chelsea, Tottenham, and Liverpool, to improve.
I agree that the World Cup break is for all teams, but I agree that this break will slightly affect the momentum that some teams are playing very well like Arsenal. Yes, we can't deny that because maybe this will be a loss for them because they lost the momentum they got before this break. Indeed, this World Cup is something unusual because it is held in the middle of a league season, but this has happened, so let's enjoy it.
When football connoisseurs, especially Arsenal fans, are enjoying the beautiful game shown by their favorite team, they have to switch their focus to the world cup. Arsenal are in their best moment before the international break, I think it will be difficult for Arsenal to find their best form when they return to action. They need a few games to get back to their best form, five points away from Manchester City makes Arsenal a little safe, even though they lose one game will not make their position threatened.
Honestly I don't think it will be difficult to maintain their good form after the world cup, they just need to stick to what they know and what they have been doing from the beginning of the season until the break and keep believing and staying positive and everything will be ok. I must admit that I am also enjoying the moment and victories and hopeful it continues after the break.
1392  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: November 24, 2022, 10:15:35 AM
The first games in the Champions League don't really matter. For example, last year Sheriff in the first two rounds beat Shakhtar and then Real at the Santiago Bernabeu and led the group, but then everything fell into place. Everyone understood that Chelsea would advance to the next stage, the only surprise for me was that they scored 6 points in the games with Milan, I expected 4.
At the moment, Chelsea are extremely far from being favorites to win the Champions League. Bookmakers estimate their chances as 1 to 13.

Why should that surprise you, are you forgetting that Chelsea was the last two seasons tournament winners that surprised the whole world when they fought their way through to the finals and defeated an informed Manchester city side to lift the trophy. Chelsea has excellent players but just lack a manager to motivate them correctly. We could all see how good the side is when the players gets the right motivation from the manager (Thomas Tuchel using this underrated squad to lift the trophy and Potter going from last in the group to winning the group).

Last two seasons, we weren't favorite as well but yet we lifted the trophy while defeating all the so called favorites. This season I'm not over expecting much from the players since we're yet to have a full squad, the like of Kante and Reece James are injured and that's giving some unbalanced to the team. When we do get our full squad back, I can bodly say we'll defeat any team that dares to stand in our way of lifting the trophy. Potter is an excellent manager, this is just a phase that'll pass and I'm expecting that after the world cup break, Chelsea should easily return to their previous form of winning games convincingly.
By this statement I believe CB is of the opinion Thomas Tuchel had the ability to motivate them correctly and winning trophies with the underrated squad he had. This just tells how good Thomas Tuchel was and until now I insist Chelsea were wrong and mistaken to sack Tuchel. Honestly with Potter I think it will also be difficult to get results with Potter probably until two or three seasons for Potter to reorganise the team and also strengthen his side If he doesn't end up being sacked.

I found Paul Scholes' anger on one of the social media. He said, this is what you want, your goal mission has already been successful. It seems that Paul Scholes is disappointed with Ronaldo. I don't know where he's going, with satatus a free transfer but an expensive salary would certainly make some clubs think. Especially overcoming his considerable Ego. It is likely that the problem could repeat itself and will leave the club disappointed.
I don't quite understand where Paul Scholes is channeling his anger to. Ronaldo just as every other player is human and have feelings and emotions. He is one player I can say loves the club infact returning to Manchester United was out of this love and I expected United will be kind enough to give him that regard and a little respect. Thank God everything is been sorted out now and both parties are supposedly happy.

Arteta has said on several occasions that he is currently targeting two trophies this season, either the Premier League or the Europa League. so we don't need to question how determined they are. So far, they have been very impressive in both domestic competition and the Europa League.

I don't expect Arsenal's players who appear to defend their national team in this world cup, not to experience significant problems, let alone the worst case scenario is getting injured, and that will become a serious problem after the league resumes.

IMO, Arsenal are too dependent on some of their players, especially Martin Odegaard. and it is very visible, when Odegaard is absent, it is not uncommon for Arsenal to always have difficulty building attacks to create goal opportunities. however, fortunately Arteta has currently targeted several players to be signed in the upcoming January transfer window.

in particular, midfielders and some other players. and if Arsenal bring in newcomers in January, Arteta doesn't need to worry that his team will run out of ammunition in the middle of the competition.
Arsenal under Arteta are looking very ambitious and determined to complete for major trophies this season, they are currently sitting at the top of the table with 5 points clear off the league's defending champions Manchester city. They will be thankful for the international break which will give opportunity to strengthen the squad again and weakened positions if their be any injuries from the world cup.

This current Arsenal side have indeed shocked everyone, they have confirmed this season that the team is improving and can still do better if the top management be willing to invest more money in the team. I'm sure everyone now believes in Mikel Arteta's project and are willing to follow it true. If their players do not suffer injuries in the World Cup, they will be able to continue our fine form when the league resumes.

This season Martinez already scoring 7 goals in Serie A and his performance also quite stable from season to season so it's not surprising if there is big club want him and this rumours was appears several months ago and actually there were several names who linked to Real Madrid but seems Martinez name looks suitable as Ancelotti want but apparently if this rumour true Martinez will not get a long term contract this because they have big plan on 2024 that their main target is to get Haaland on that year and Madrid will attempts to buy clause contract for Haaland and for Inter apparently they don't have any problem to losing Martinez this because Inter will immediately looking for the replacement of him 
Martinez isn't a bad option for Real Madrid at all but it seems Ancelloti has other plans that are different from signing Martinez on a long term contract for Madrid. I have to admit that it will be a dream move to see Erling Haaland playing in Real Madrid colors in the near future, I am a lover of Real Madrid and I will love to see that happening in the future but at the main time it wouldn't be a bad idea having Martinez on a short term contract.

Atletico Madrid still have a long way to go in the league to be able to reach the level of Barcelona and Real Madrid. Because there is a significant drop in their effort level in the recent seasons. This season is even worse than the previous one I think. Because they had a horrible run in the Champions League. Their performance in the La Liga is also bad now as they are far away from the title competition.

Hopefully Simeone is thinking of some changes in his strategies. Or maybe he might think of leaving at the end of the season. Whichever happens, I just think they need to start playing differently to be more consistent.
Obviously Atletico Madrid are in poor form now and have fall short of vital points supposed to keep them at the top 3 spot in the league table. I can't seem to understand what the problem is and why they have been experiencing this drastic drop in form but for what it is I'm also sure Diego Simeone is back to the tactical board and finding possible solutions to the problems of the team.

Manchester United just released a club statement that Ronaldo has been released based on mutual agreement.

We all saw this coming, no matter how they would try to forgive him theirs actually no way he his coming back. His coming back might affect other team mates. His statement of be been disrespectful to the Coach was Harsh.

It has been a disaster return. Will Ronaldo get a top club to sign in? That will depend on his world Cup performance.
Last few hour ago Manchester United and Cristiano Ronaldo have released on mutual agreement cut off contract early before over on June 2023, right now Cristiano Ronaldo become free agent and his chance moving to the team participants at Champion League could be easy. Ronaldo have great reputation right now and bring positive impact based on he has many fans around the world, I think new team reach agreement to sign Ronaldo have potential with T-Shirt sold out and home ticket easy for selling.

For new team maybe Ronaldo will announce after World Cup because he want fully focus with national team and could be last time opportunity for him playing on World Cup.
I was surprised Ronaldo turned down Manchester City for a move to Manchester United which just showed how much love he had for the club but in the end United couldn't reciprocate this love to him which in my opinion wasn't fair on the player's side and despite him showing his unhappiness on several occasions with hopes that he will be considered rather the maltreatment went on. It's a shame United didn't value a player like Ronaldo on their team but he deserved better treatment than what he got.

~snip~
Too bad! After the transfer of Robert Lewandowski to FC Barcelona, FC Bayern is still looking for another striker. And here the (very) young Moukoko would have fitted perfectly into the FC Bayern team. It would be a shame if another talented player leaves the Bundesliga. Come on Bayern, sign him!

A young talent owned by Borrusia Dortmund and the German national team, Youssoufa Maukoko. attracted a lot of interest from many parties from Manchester United and Liverpool, whose contract will expire this season with Dortmund at the end of this season.  and there's still one more, other English clubs are also interested in bringing in Youssoufa Maukoko in the upcoming transfer window.  yes, Tottenham also want the services of this young player.

however, if Youssoufa Maukoko joins Bayern Munich in the next season. I'm sure his career will shine even more, and his skills will be honed even more. but it's a shame, that rumor is not true as reported by Sky Sport.

So, if United are really interested in him. I'm sure Man United will be really serious about bringing him to Old Trafford in the transfer market next summer. Youssoufa Maukoko is a talented young player, if he started his career in the premier league. I am optimistic, his career will shine even more.
In this kind of situations when several top clubs come enquiring for a players availability it will now depend on the players decision and choice of destination. I also agree that moving to Bayern munich will indeed help the player's development and improvement. Whichever club he moves to in January we shall find out after the world cup competition going on.

there are again two new rumors from the premier league...
especially since aston villa reportedly has a "concrete" interest in signing fc villarreal striker Samuel Chukwueze in january and fc chelsea reportedly considering a summer move for fc everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford



Samuel Chukwueze is still pretty young.
I think he has some great potential. But I don’t know why Aston Villa is so determined to bring him.
As far as I know, he has not scored even ones this season (15 matches)

Jordan Pickford is a very good goalkeeper and I think he can be a good asset for Chelsea.
So far, I have also heard that Chelsea is interested in him, but nothing more has happened.


Duke khan
I think Villa are so interested in bringing Samuel Chukwueze to the club in January because of his relationship with the new manager Unai Emery back in Villareal where Samuel Chukwueze was a very important player for Unai Emery's side and the manager wishes to continue working with the Nigerian player in the premier league with Aston Villa, I can say this deal is likely to happen because of the relationship of the parties involved.
